* audio: use --audio-channels=auto behavior, except on ALSAwm42016-08-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds an --audio-channel=auto-safe mode, and makes it the default. This mode behaves like "auto" with most AOs, except with ao_alsa. The intention is to allow multichannel output by default on sane APIs. ALSA is not sane as in it's so low level that it will e.g. configure any layout over HDMI, even if the connected A/V receiver does not support it. The HDMI fuckup is of course not ALSA's fault, but other audio APIs normally isolate applications from dealing with this and require the user to globally configure the correct output layout. This will help with other AOs too. ao_lavc (encoding) is changed to the new semantics as well, because it used to force stereo (perhaps because encoding mode is supposed to produce safe files for crap devices?). Exclusive mode output on Windows might need to be adjusted accordingly, as it grants the same kind of low level access as ALSA (requires more research). In addition to the things mentioned above, the --audio-channels option is extended to accept a set of channel layouts. This is supposed to be the correct way to configure mpv ALSA multichannel output. You need to put a list of channel layouts that your A/V receiver supports.
* Relicense some non-MPlayer source files to LGPL 2.1 or laterwm42016-01-191-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This covers source files which were added in mplayer2 and mpv times only, and where all code is covered by LGPL relicensing agreements. There are probably more files to which this applies, but I'm being conservative here. A file named ao_sdl.c exists in MPlayer too, but the mpv one is a complete rewrite, and was added some time after the original ao_sdl.c was removed. The same applies to vo_sdl.c, for which the SDL2 API is radically different in addition (MPlayer supports SDL 1.2 only). common.c contains only code written by me. But common.h is a strange case: although it originally was named mp_common.h and exists in MPlayer too, by now it contains only definitions written by uau and me. The exceptions are the CONTROL_ defines - thus not changing the license of common.h yet. codec_tags.c contained once large tables generated from MPlayer's codecs.conf, but all of these tables were removed. From demux_playlist.c I'm removing a code fragment from someone who was not asked; this probably could be done later (see commit 15dccc37). misc.c is a bit complicated to reason about (it was split off mplayer.c and thus contains random functions out of this file), but actually all functions have been added post-MPlayer. Except get_relative_time(), which was written by uau, but looks similar to 3 different versions of something similar in each of the Unix/win32/OSX timer source files. I'm not sure what that means in regards to copyright, so I've just moved it into another still-GPL source file for now. screenshot.c once had some minor parts of MPlayer's vf_screenshot.c, but they're all gone.
* chmap: remove MPlayer layoutswm42015-11-071-1/+0
| | | | Unused; last uses removed with the previous two commits.
* audio: always log channel maps before determining final mapwm42015-10-261-0/+3
| | | | | Until now, this was done only in debug verbosity, while some AOs logged equivalent information in verbose mode. Clean this up.
* chmap_sel: add multichannel fallback heuristicStefano Pigozzi2014-12-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of just failing during channel map selection, try to select a close layout that makes most sense and upmix/downmix to that instead of failing AO initialization. The heuristic is rather simple, and uses the following steps: 1) If mono is required always prefer stereo to a multichannel upmix. 2) Search for an upmix that is an exact superset of the required channel map. 3) Search for a downmix that is the exact subset of the required channel map. 4) Search for either an upmix or downmix that is the closest (minimum difference of channels) to the required channel map.
* audio: allow more than 20 channel map entrieswm42014-12-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This could trigger an assertion when using ao_alsa or ao_coreaudio. The code was simply assuming the number of channel maps was bounded statically (which was true at first in both AOs). Fix by using dynamic memory allocation. It needs to be explicitly enabled by the AOs by setting a temp context, because otherwise the memory couldn't be freed. (Or at least this seems to be the most elegant solution.) Fixes #1306.
* audio: add channel map selection functionwm42013-05-121-0/+43
The point is selecting a minimal fallback. The AOs will call this through the AO API, so it will be possible to add options affecting the general channel layout selection. It provides the following mechanism to AOs: - forcing the correct channel order - downmixing to stereo if no layout is available - allow 5.1 <-> 5.1(side) fallback - handling "unknown" channel layouts This is quite weak and lots of code/complexity for little gain. All AOs already made sure the channel order was correct, and the fallback is of little value, and could perhaps be done in the frontend instead, like stereo downmixing with --channels=2 is handled. But I'm not really sure how this stuff should _really_ work, and the new code will hopefully provides enough flexibility to make radical changes to channel layout negotiation easier.
